Amazing villa and great hospitality

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Nov 9, 2017
We had wonderful time in Alivia villa in the begining of October. The attention to the detail is what make the villa unique, stylish. Away from the crowds, only a few minutes drive to the sea side.We have particularly loved orange orcards and beautiful view. Five star accomodation in most respects. Appreciated Despina's great hospitality, really loved this suberb, Conte Maria Villas...

One of our best stay in our life!
We, thats my mother, my to sisters and me - Age from 51 to 90.

I have invited my Family to this special Location, because I wanted to offer them a unforgettable Memory of our holiday, Crete and get-together which we never had before in this constellation.

We met the super nice and polite Owner Couple Despina and Nicos.
They are more than supportive, helpful, funny, honest and straight forward characters, it felt like Family from the first get together. Very warm hearted and trustable People.

Despina is giving you information about Restaurants and hidden places you would not find by yourself.

I guess I called her 15 times during our stay for making reservations and getting direction during driving for special spots. Sorry again for this Despina! ;-)

And I have to say that everything was done and organized within 5 min..
You feel the passion Despina brings to project conte marino Villas.

You get an incredible breakfast which is more brunch than breakfast, served by Efy. One of the most lovely, funny and warm hearted People we have ever met. We had really a blast every morning. Funny stories that brought tears to our eyes, combined with minutes of laughter.
Best cook ever! Native english! Greek specialities I never tried before, amazing taste.

Beautiful atmosphere in the middle of Lemon, Orange and Olive trees.
Breakfast is served at the outdoor kitchen in the middle of the Nature. Mindblowing!

Maria is making an outstanding Service within the house to feel very comfortable.

Spacious Pool and Lounge Area, Living Room and Sleeping rooms. A very luxury place for a special unforgettable vacation.

I traveled around the world many times, privately and as an Entrepreneur, .... and I have to say that Conte Marino Villas are rated within my top 3 list.

A tranquil, very positive energetic place for Families, Couples in Love or Friends who want to have a private luxury place with a perfect service, where you do not have to bend a single finger for anything.

For all future readers of my article. It all sounds very exaggerated, but that's the way it was. "Just excellent".

I am looking forward to our next stay and to see you all again soon.

Thank you very much for this..."just perfect" stay Despina, Nicos, Efy and Maria.

warmest regards/Jassu,

Bernd, Anna, Ingrid & Angelika

Room tip: All rooms are just perfect! Clean, stylish and absolutely quiet. Best sleep ever.

Stayed as a family of 5 during September 2017 in the ‘Orangina’ villa (one of three villas available).
The property is located a few minutes’ walk from the village of Kontomari, a village with significant history. No amenities (restaurants, market, etc) are in the village or within walking distance, so hire car is required. We hired a car to drive to local beaches, as well as all the main attractions in the Chania prefecture (Elafonissi, Falassarna, Balos, Samaria, etc) and chose to take a taxi to Chania town in the evening for dinner (~25e one-way).
The villa itself is stunning, enormous & architectural masterpiece – 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, washing machine – the amenities list goes on forever! Lots of light, super clean & amazing landscape views of the mountains, village or sea depending on where you are viewing. The centrepiece is an amazing outdoor area – huge garden with beautiful orange & olive trees, crowned by a wonderful private pool.
We enjoyed incredible daily breakfasts (note no breakfast is available on Sundays), prepared by the wonderful chef Effie – a great mix of local delicacies as well as home grown produce – the best Crete has to offer.
We are very grateful to the owners (Despina & Nikos) for their hospitality (they kindly met us at Chania airport at midnight & due to our late arrival, gratefully organised beautiful refreshments back at the villa) and their passion for their villas and for all things Crete. A stay at Conte Marino is a very unique, luxurious, warm and relaxing experience and highly recommended if you visiting Crete. Thank you to the team and look forward to returning soon.

We visited Conte Marino Villas this summer and our stay could not have been any better!
From the moment we arrived, we were amazed by the kind hospitality of the owner Despina and her husband Nikos and their warm professional reception.
All nothing but perfect!
From the welcoming upon arrival, to the luxurious villas, the pristine landscaping, to delicious Cretan breakfast and professional staff.
The resort, a beautiful architectural structure that combines wood, stone and glass along with nature’s most beautiful landscape to create a sense of relaxation and warmth.
All were designed with care and provision in details.

The villa that we stayed ‘’Orangia” was close to perfection, modern but calm and tranquil in spirit, fully equipped to make us feel at home, attended with care in every detail from the appliances to the sheets to small decorating items, all of superb taste.

The location was excellent too, close enough to wonderful beaches and town of Chania but still quiet and peaceful.

Dear Despina, thank you for being a part of our most precious memories and creating a superb vacation that we look forward to having again!
It was really a dream come true vacation for me and my family, in one of the absolutely best resorts to be found.

A large group of us stayed in villas Alivia and Mandarina for a few days either side of a wedding and the villas were absolutely perfect for our needs.

The villas themselves are beautiful and well equipped with everything, we did a little bit of cooking and barbecuing and had everything we wanted. They were both so lovely and the hostess ensured everything was set up for our needs which was incredibly thoughtful. The bowls full of local Cretan delicacies were a really nice touch and the breakfasts were so delicious and very special.

The staff are wonderful, the places are kept incredibly clean and looking lovely. Thank you so much for having us, it was the perfect place for a large group to catch up and relax.
